"We're going to find an apple today on our apple tree. It's over here, so we have to let everybody see it by taking our attention right to it. I found my apple. I'm reaching up. What shape is the apple? Round. What shape is my hand? Flat. I'm going to form that apple and pick it, which means I've got to take the closest body part, my wrist, and make a little action. They don't know what I have here. Oranges come off of trees, apples come off of trees. What do you do with an apple that you don't do with an orange. You polish it. I'm going to polish my apple. This is great. Now I'm going to take the apple to my mouth. I'm leaning it a little bit like this. I'm going to put my teeth into it. Then I'm going to take my bite and I'm going to chew, swallow. Great apple."
